All: We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year!

Gonzo: Now bring us some figgy pudding, now ...

Miss Piggy (spoken): Piggy Pudding?

Gonzo (spoken): No, FIGGY pudding, it's made with figs.

Miss Piggy (spoken): Oh, sorry.

Gonzo (spoken): And bacon.

Miss Piggy (spoken): What?!

All: We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year!

We won't go (won't go) until we get some (won't go)
We won't go (won't go) until we get some (won't go!)
We won't go (wooon't gooo!) until we get some (won't gooo!)

(Denver?: Animal, sit! Back! That's better.)

All: We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year!

We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year!
